Introduction

Along Pierre Teilhard de
Chardin, Julian Huxley
and the other
neo-Darwinists, the
cosmic evolution, from the Big Bang up to now, presents
nine levels of
complexity, which can be grouped into three stages: the lithosphere
(levels 1 to 5, the "dead" matter, -strings, quarks,
particles, atoms,
molecules- organised by elementary physical
laws), the biosphere
(levels 6
to 8, the "living" matter, -eobionts,
protozoa, metazoa- organised by
genetic codes and active by reflexes), and the noosphere (level 9,
the
"thinking" matter, -human society- organized by the
software of the
human brain and
active by creative intelligence).

Mission

This website aims
to
become a think-tank for people who want to implement
the Noosphere,
i.e. to reflect creatively about a better future for
humanity by gathering insight into its profound
mechanisms. Their
scientific tool is the integration technique which
allows to yield
plausibility out of apparently divergent theories.

The splendid
Wikipedia site
limits itself to facts of the past and some
of the present, excluding all not yet generally
accepted concepts. The
scientific world tends to limit the qualification of
"plausible" to
theories that can be calculated and reproduced in the
laboratory, de
facto excluding innovative
psychosocial theories and reliable thoughts about the
next stage of
human evolution (Teilhard called this the Noosphere).
Hence we strongly
need a website where plausible and useful ideas about
perhaps the most
important of all questions -man's happiness in a
better future- can be
collected, elaborated and shared by the general public
and by
stimulating creative thinkers.

Method

The technique of integration
is very well suited to serve as a scientific method
for applications
where it is (still) impossible to calculate or to
experiment. It
doesn't yield proofs, but enhances the plausibility of
hypotheses to
levels comparable with the physical scientific method.
Classical
philosophers and scientists used this method
intuitively. The technique
was reintroduced by Hegel with his thesis / antithesis
/ synthesis
theory, and is consciously used by postmodern thinkers
from Whitehead
to Wilber.

The technique of integration
or integrative
communication
is the most essential interaction and thinking
procedure between
Peer-to-Peer forms of cooperation (p2p), where the
rapprochement of
individual contributions is considered as largely
superior to the
traditional method of proof, refutation and choice.
This procedure led
to applications as Linux, Wikipedia, etc.

At the same time, the
integrative method appears to be the best tool to
construct a website on such topics.

Collaboration

Visitors are invited
to add
new pages to this site, and to improve
existing ones. Apart from the topic, there is only one
(relative)
condition: an integrative style should, where
possible, be used.

Visitors wanting to
collaborate may simply blog their comments,
suggestions and proposed texts.

Future

If possible and if
all
qualities are preserved, this website will try
to integrate itself with analogous projects and to
disappear as a
separate project. An earlier and more elaborate website in Dutch already exists.
